By rendering a mass-market object in a material traditionally reserved for monuments and memorials, Braat transforms the everyday into the monumental. The gleaming marble surface echoes the glossy wrapper of its source, while its solidity suggests a tension between consumption’s ephemerality and art’s endurance.
Chocolate Bar is part of Braat’s wider project of “glorifying the everyday”—lifting the mundane into the realm of contemplation.
In this gesture, the sculpture invites us to reflect: what objects do we invest with significance? Which commodities fade, and which crave permanence?
